I know how many fans have been desperately trying to find them for years. <br /><br />However, because the series is old, the fandom is small and scattered all over the world, and content is only available in Japan, there will be some materials that will not have any links or sources to them.

I'm rather new to the series as a whole, and I've managed to compile a track listing for all the CDs including dates of publication and CD codes (whatever they're called). In some cases there was some confusion as to the exact titles of some of the tracks, so I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can find some scans of the track listings pages of each CD's booklet. In fact, if you can tell me where to find scans for the entire booklets of each CD, if such exist, that would be nice. Regarding the three drama CDs Destiny, Nightmare and Resonance, what exactly are the contents of each one? I couldn't find any info about their plots. Another question I have is whether an instrumental CD really exists. <a href="http://bakabt.me/147979-ai-no-kusabi-osts-instrumentals-dramas.html" rel="nofollow">This torrent</a> lists one, but it has several mistakes, including titling the Music Best CD as a "mix" CD and several of its tracks not matching the track listing I've found for it.<br /><br />In terms of DVDs, I found these while searching for information about the CDs:<br />- <a href="http://www.suruga-ya.jp/database/151071286001.html" rel="nofollow">OAV Anniversary Special DVD</a><br />- <a href="http://www.suruga-ya.jp/database/128042193001.html" rel="nofollow">Special Appendix OAV Anniversary Special DVD</a> (I believe this one comes in the same Chara Vol. 25 that included Musk)<br />I was wondering if anyone knew what these are and what their contents are? If so, have these DVDs potentially been ripped and uploaded somewhere? If not, is there anyone who owns them and might be willing to rip and share them?<br /><br />I was also wondering what <a href="http://page15.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t302852543" rel="nofollow">this</a> is, if anyone knows.<br /><br />The last thing I wanted to mention is regarding Musk, of which <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="rainbowfam" lj:user="rainbowfam" ><a href="https://rainbowfam.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080?v=350.1" /></a><a href="https://rainbowfam.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>rainbowfam</b></a></span> translated the first page.

<a href="http://mp3linova.net/search/[CD%20Drama]%20Ai%20no%20Kusabi" rel="nofollow">Surpringly, I found some tracks from the remake CD Dramas for <i>Ai no Kusabi</i> after a lot of searching</a>.&nbsp;They&#39;re on a site called Mp3linova. However, it&#39;s not all of it and out of order. Still, I thought it&#39;d be cool to share it with everyone since it&#39;s hard to find anything relating to the series.<br /><br />Also, remember to support the <i>Ai no Kusabi</i> franchise by buying the DVDs that are set to be release on April 23, thanks to Media Blasters. If the DVD sells well enough, then AIC might have enough money to produce the next eight episodes for the 2012 remake! Spread the word, and buy the DVDs so AIC can get the money to continue our beloved series. You can order at these websites like Rightstuf and Amazon. :)https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/174223.html#commentscddrama/soundtrackoav/animenew ank remakepublicutauda142112767027https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/164573.htmlSat, 14 Apr 2012 13:36:09 GMTPiano covers and music sheets for new OVArainbowfamhttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/164573.html

I finally had the opportunity to listen to these, and I haven't seen any discussion on them anywhere. Some thoughts on them, along with some notes on the reading of the novels. I don't think I'm breaking the rules, but if I am...do correct me. ^_^;<br /><br />Uh, minor caveat: I haven't posted to LJ in <i>forever</i> so if I screw up any of the htmling, that's why.<br /><br /> <br />Firstly, what annoyed me greatly about the drama CD's is that there is paucity of information on them, period. Other than the summaries on Lena's page about the contents of what's going on, and what my own ears can pick up, I really don't know what the heck is going on. AudioWiki has even less. That means no translations, and thanks to the brand spanking new cast, I get confused who's who, because I'm not familiar with these voice actors in the least. *blushes* (I'm not a big follower of any seiyuu.)<br /><br />Generally speaking, I would say these new drama CD's follow the rewritten novel. (I've listened to the Shiozawa Memorial recently, and I'm trying to guess when they made that. It was released a few months after Shiozawa's death, so I'm guessing that it was some leftover material they had from when they were making Dark Erogenous. Hmmm...mainly because they had different voice actors for everyone excluding Shiozawa, and Seki Toshihiko for Riki.) <br /><br />The summary for Destiny, the first CD, was particularly sparse. I'm guessing it's the period before Riki's captured because track five of the first CD is definitely that first scene where Iason catches Riki pickpocketing. <br /><br />I have to say, just like the novels, the interpretation that Toru Okawa does for Iason fits the image much more closely of novel Iason than the old OVA. It's a great deal colder, crueler, and lacking in sentimentality. While I enjoyed Okawa's version, I kind of prefer the rendition that Shiozawa created for us. At least that Iason seemed to have an ounce of human warmth to him. Can't really blame Okawa, though, as that's what I can tell the Iason of the novel is like. <br /><br />Riki (Kentaro Ito) doesn't seem to me particularly exceptional or outlandishly bad either. He's okay. Miki Shinichiro really surprised me with his Katze. When I first found out about that being him in the preview, I was shocked that he could even sound like that. I mean...I heard him before in Escaflowne and a little bit in Weiss, but...geez, that was surprising. Raoul's voice is deeper than Iason's. That kind of bothers me...<br /><br />Sound effects are improved upon. And the synth actually isn't that cheesy (I didn't like the music of the old OVA so much.)<br /><br />I wish I knew more of what was going on. As it is...I just finished the first CD of Resonance, and pretty much Riki's done the deed with Mimea. Mimea, I prefer in the original, she sounds...I guess so breathy. Young too, but she's...how old are female pets usually? I recall in the novel that they said that males don't last as long as females, and I'm guessing they're usually kept around to breed, and that's that. <br /><br />Oh, getting back to the whole novel thing--characterization. I can't stop comparing them to the anime. I know that's unfair, but the anime was the first thing I was exposed to back in the nineties, and I can't get over just how <i>cold</i> Iason is compared to the OVA's. You feel so much for Riki's plight, and it makes me want to smack Iason in the head for being such a bastard to him. <br /><br />I could also comment at length on the ultraviolet purple prose of the (translation of the?) prose, but that's been done by people much better versed in the topic than I, so I won't. <br /><br /><a name='cutid1-end'></a>https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/76269.html#commentsthoughts/discussionscddrama/soundtrackseiyuu/voice actornew ank remakeXenosaga - In This SerenityXenosaga - In This Serenitycalmpublicasellus24106200769https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/66646.htmlTue, 07 Jul 2009 17:45:24 GMTThe authors of the soundtracksuxxxannhttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/66646.html

I haven't matched tracks to cues, but all the sources I've found agree with that general conclusion. (If you like the end theme - &quot;Ai no Kusabi&quot; - there are 4 versions one each on <i>Ai no Kusabi</i>, <i>Sympathy</i>, <i>Sense of Crisis</i>, and <i>Sound Selections I</i>.)<br /> - Although there are 15 tracks listed in the liner notes for <i>Sympathy</i>, the CD is actually 16 tracks long. I've tagged the mystery track 15 &quot;no title&quot; (it's a short mix of &quot;Kaleidoscopic&quot; with dialogue bits), and track 16 is tagged &quot;Ai no Kusabi&quot; (track 15 in the liner notes).<br /> - <i>Sense of Crisis</i> and <i>Ambivalence</i> are image/&quot;inspired by&quot; CDs, as far as I can tell. Mostly music, though, and that music is very much in the vein of the OVA OSTs. (<i>Ambivalence</i> features &quot;Eternal&quot;, which people really seem to like. There's a very nice instrumental version on <i>Sound Selections I</i>.)<br /> - <i>Sound Selections I</i> contains different arrangements of a selection of 11 tracks - changed tempo, instrumentation, that sort of thing. I like this one a lot. <i>Sound Selections II</i> has music-box-style arrangments of 7 tracks.<a name='cutid1-end'></a><br />https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/62522.html#commentscddrama/soundtrackpublicbunnyhop7771280785710https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/36388.htmlWed, 18 Jun 2008 03:59:43 GMTDesperate!!!the_seomhttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/36388.html

Since there was many complaints on Gigeshare, where Dark Erogenous: Subbed Visualization was previously hosted, I uploaded it on another server. It’s the best server I found that (it seems so) keeps big files forever. (On Gigeshare files are deleted after 90 days without a download – and I suppose the visualization has been deleted after all.)<br /><br />Also, I compressed the sound into mp3 format (as it should be) and thus now the file isn’t 766Mb but 181Mb. So even if you have already downloaded it, you have a chance to clear 0,5Gb of your hard discs. ;-)<br /><br />So here it is: <a href="http://www.eatlime.com/files/download_prompt.php?file=EAA946D3-7545-FECF-42D8-E8D2C0C80655" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><b>Download</b></a> <br /><br />Hope you don’t have any troubles with downloading this time. If the site isn’t working for you, let me know – I’ll appreciate this feedback, as I really want to know if everything is alright.<br /><br />And again, the visualization was made by Lent_san! I only took care of it.https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/33668.html#commentscddrama/soundtrackpublicczmadzia37258539https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/33416.htmlFri, 18 Jan 2008 06:55:11 GMTAi no Kusabi Drama???!!!kenshin77777https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/33416.html
Hello every one,<br /><br />I'm a newbie so please be kind to me! *.*<br /><br />I am a fan and God knows how many times I have watched the OVA. Today I was looking for some more pictures and while searching I came across <a href="http://kusabi.slashfiction.ru/e-index.html" rel="nofollow"><font size="4"><b><i>this web site</i></b></font></a>.<br /><br />I was reading about the characters and came to darryl when I saw this sentence:<br /><br /><font size="3" face="Lucida Sans Unicode, Garamond" color="#333333">He's mentioned briefly in the anime and plays a larger role in the <font color="#ff0000"><b>drama</b></font>.</font><br /><br />and also when I was reading about Mimea, Raoul's pet, I saw this one:<br /><br /><font size="3" face="Lucida Sans Unicode, Garamond" color="#333333">She was a virgin, and Raoul had already found a pet to mate with her (he wanted her to have a child). But Mimea liked Riki, and persuaded him to have sex with her, saying that she wanted it to be with someone she choses herself, not with someone her master found for her. <font color="#ff0000"><b>Riki agreed</b></font>, mostly to have revenge on Iason. Raoul was outraged, and both Riki and Mimea were punished. <font color="#ff0000"><b>Riki's punishment is shown in the second OVA</b></font> (he's thinking about it waiting for Iason).</font><br /><br />Ok, can some one tell me what is this DRAMA thing about? Is there a drama out there? or a Novel or something? Or even a manga which I don't know about?!!!<br /><br />and can you please be kind to me and have mercy and tell me how can I get it?!<br /><br />I will love you for ever and ever! Thank you&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ^__^<br /><font color="#333333"><font size="5"><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode, Garamond"><u><b></b></u><b></b></font><b></b></font><b></b></font>https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/33416.html#commentssuggestionsthoughts/discussionscddrama/soundtrackpublickenshin77777135528126https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18969.htmlWed, 30 May 2007 20:52:58 GMTThe music of ANKraphaella_xhttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18969.html
I've only recently downloaded both the OVA, but I'm as hooked as can be (truth be told I actually downloaded the first ages ago and promptly deleted it - bad me). The music, I found, was really good, I'm such a music obsessed idiot. I managed to download the soundtrack from <a href='http://community.livejournal.com/anime_downloads/'>http://community.livejournal.com/anime_downloads/</a> (recently posted yesterday), but the track I most wanted wasn't there. It's the music played when Guy is rigging the bombs, and Iason is on his way to retrive Riki. (Actually, the music starts with Riki waking up and ends with him being found.) If anyone has this I would be most grateful - hell, I'll even draw you something (the best reward I can give, I'm a bit of an artist). Or write? I'm pathetically desperate to get this music.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18969.html#commentscddrama/soundtrackpublicraphaella_x976384816https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18499.htmlWed, 16 May 2007 22:48:27 GMTDark Erogenous – subbed visualizationczmadziahttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18499.html
I have an interesting link to share. It’s a download link to the subbed visualization of <em>Dark Erogenous</em>. What does that mean? The visualization is an avi file combining the mp3 DE tracks and Croik’s translations, so that you can listen to the drama while the text in English displays on the screen for you. There are also some graphic images included, so it’s almost like watching the <em>Dark Erogenous</em> OVA. Definitely much more interesting than reading and listening separately, or trying to read while listening. The visualization has been made by <strong>Lent</strong>. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.gigeshare.com/preview/f616nca112271n28a12gdd78nn51c5dn/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gigeshare.com/preview/f616nca112271n28a12gdd78nn51c5dn/</a> <br /><br />I also put the link on my site <a href="http://ainokusabi.atspace.com" rel="nofollow">http://ainokusabi.atspace.com</a>. <br /><br />Enjoy! <br />https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/18499.html#commentscddrama/soundtrackpublicczmadzia372585319https://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/11980.htmlFri, 15 Sep 2006 00:10:06 GMTAnK music uploadedczmadziahttps://community.livejournal.com/ai-no-kusabi-/11980.html
